This is largely a reading comprehension test.
Exactly, and you have to be able to read to pass it.
That is the problem right there.
Kids come out of school without the ability to read and wonder why no one wants to hire them.
They fill the ranks with idiots who passed the dumbed down test and then they wonder why these idiots cannot pass a promotional exam, so they dumb that down too.
Anything to make their quota.
DING DING DING... I think you've just hit on exactly why the test is "racist".
